Setting an Inital Value to WebCombo
posted

I need to have the WebCombo display a initial value when the web page loads. The user can either proceed or change the value to one that they desire from the combo box.

Thanks in advance.

    If you're binding the combo to a datasource then you can set the default value in the DataBound event.

    Protected Sub cboData_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
      Handles cboData.DataBound

      With DirectCast(sender, WebCombo)
            If Not IsPostBack Then
              .SelectedRow = .Rows.Item(0)
            End If
      End With
    End Sub

    Otherwise you can just set the DisplayValue property to whatever value you want to display.
